The politician's fallacy and the politician's apology

The politician's fallacy and the politician's apology

I learned this from Yes, Minister.
They call it the politician's fallacy:

Something must be done.

This is something.

Therefore, we must do it.

As befits its name, you see it most often in politics,
where poorly-thought-out solutions are proposed for
urgent problems.
But be on the lookout for it in other places, too.
You might see somebody falling victim to the politician's
fallacy at a business meeting, say.
